Your favorite thing about Oakland may not be on Wikipedia yet! Join Wikicurious: Rooted in Oakland, a community editing event on Thursday, November 12 from 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm at the Bay Rising Movement Hub. Participants will work collaboratively to create and improve articles related to overlooked local history and culture in the Oakland community.
Hosted by Wikimedia NYC and the Bay Area Wikipedians User Group, this event welcomes newcomers and experienced Wikimedians alike. Participants will receive training on how to edit Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
Wikicurious is a beginner-level series that trains participants on how to edit and participate on Wikimedia platforms. Wikicurious was started by Wikimedia NYC in 2024 with events throughout the city, and has since expanded nationally. Wikicurious is supported by Craig Newmark Philanthropies.
